As I listened to this beautiful and true poem read by Pearl Cleage, I felt swept away to another place. It was a place of love, peace and security. Pearl Cleage's voice took me to a place in my heart where I could applaud, praise and remember the strong, successful women who are a part of my roots. As she named names of these women I felt goose bumps each time. She named Cicely Tyson, Nancy Wilson, Oprah Winfrey, Diane Carroll, Dr. Toni Morrison, Leontyne Price, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle and so many other important and famous names.
